2021 Honda Rebel 1100 Review | MC Commute
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Big Red’s Rebel cruiser line grows this season with the addition of the 2021 Rebel 1100 ($9,999 as tested, with optional Dual Clutch Transmission). Honda’s latest cruiser builds upon the Rebel’s lovable character by adding power and high-end electronic rider aids, including Honda’s exclusive DCT.
--
Rebels are renowned for their friendly demeanor and ease of use by virtually any sized rider, short or tall. And the 1100 continues the format. Mid-foot controls, a low seat, and slim powertrain make for a bike that’s easy to straddle, especially for smaller riders. Although a tad narrow, the handlebar has a pleasing upright bend, that will work well for most. Overall the controls are well-proportioned but a tad cramped for a 6-foot-tall rider.
Honda’s optional $700 DCT is a game changer for novice and more experienced riders alike. It takes the worry out of synchronized clutch and gear-shifting action replacing it with a fully automated experience, much like a scooter. Still, riders can select each of the six gears, manually via paddle-like buttons on the left-hand-side switch gear. A monochrome round-face dash display keeps tabs on vehicle vitals and is easy to read at a glance.
Steadily refined over the last 11 years, Honda’s DCT programming is so intuitive to control input and so fast in operation (we’re especially fond of its racebike-like auto-blip downshift feature) that it will make you think twice about riding a manual-transmission-equipped motorcycle. Another plus: the system is virtually maintenance-free. Our only gripe is that the gearbox doesn’t offer the Africa Twin adventure bike’s “G switch,” enabling faster (and more sporty feeling) clutch engagement.
With around 80 hp available at the 16-inch Dunlop rear tire, the Rebel 1100 zips around town with enough oomph to lift the front wheel in first gear. Although to be fair, it feels less punchy than the Africa Twin’s engine (read the report in the 2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sport ES DCT MC Commute Review) from which it is borrowed.
The 1,084cc (66-cubic-inch) parallel twin employs an uneven firing order designed to mimic the firing pulses of a V-twin. Since its Honda, the character of the engine is smoother and less rowdy as compared to other 270/540-degree firing interval parallel twins we’ve ridden (i.e., Aprilia’s 660, KTM’s LC8c, and Yamaha’s CP2 power units). Still, it’s rambunctious enough to put a smile on your face, and we appreciate its calculated level of engine vibration that doesn’t become annoying after a couple of hours in the saddle. Adjustable engine power, traction, and engine-brake control make for a tailored riding experience. With a push of a button the Rebel can go from mild to wild. Cruise control is also standard.
In spite of its 509-pound curb weight (claimed), in typical Rebel fashion it impresses with how light and maneuverable it feels in motion. It hugs turns well and offers a surprisingly lean angle before the footpegs kiss asphalt. The calibration of the suspension is equally pleasing and overall ride quality is astounding, even over rough, broken pavement despite having less than 4 inches of rear suspension travel. The Rebel 1100 is the most versatile riding mid-control cruiser we’ve ever ridden. Well done, Big Red.
Twin hydraulic disc brakes do a fine job of slowing down the Rebel and include IMU-powered ABS. Although styling-wise we wished the Rebel used a twin front disc setup, we can’t knock the performance of the solo setup. We also appreciated the power and response of the rear brake.
Aside from its exemplary performance, the Rebel offers a high level of build quality. Though we wish it would have done a better job of hiding the instrument and switch gear wiring. Designed with customization in mind, a wide range of OE accessories are available and Honda says the Rebel can be stripped easily. Aftermarket companies like Burly and Vance & Hines also offer a variety of bolt-on accessories to make the Rebel yours.

I love how casually Waheed talks about doing hooligan stuff. "Of course we have disabled traction control, so as to avoid any interference with our obligatory dank wheelies"
Good job Honda!
PS : Could the side mounted camera please go away. Chin mounted shows us what you see more clearly
Agreed
Ha! I kinda liked it. Go figure.
Side mounted gives us a good view of his buddy on the same bike, and I suspect that is not an accident.
His hair is 1100 cc too xD
I have a feeling Honda is going to sell a ton of these. I also think it's going to eat away at Harley Sportster sales like candy.
Especially in Europe... oh, wait, Sportsters aren't sold in EU anymore anyway
Probably in Europe, but not America. Cruiser riders are all about the V-Twin, made in Murica, and the Indian and Harley Davidson badge.
@@Lex-Rex except any half-intelligent cruiser fan should give HD the finger for not updating the Porkster and still charging 9-10k (700-800$ for ABS? Please...) for a 50 hp bike
@@StirbMensch Refer to other response. Cruiser bois do not care -- especially in the United States. The US is the king of V-Twin push rod, low and slow cruisers.
@@Lex-Rex is that why HD sales have plummeted in the last 10 years or so? :D
I'm picking mine up in two days!!!
So excited!
(Just like the one he's riding!)
It's a beautiful bike.
None are in yet
I'm#1 on the list at my dealer
Did you get THE CALL?
nice man. hope you like it! ride safe
@@Gregs_World T H E C A L L
Let me know how it is. I am planning on buying it
Adam, you forgot to thank Honda for a "Keyed ignition"...lol
Except for the location which is stupid
that's something from the past that should be completely abandoned
one day the key will get bent when you brush your left knee against it and you will be stranded
or something else hanging from it will fall off and you will never know
that's the dumbest "RETRO" thing they did with this bike
and if they could put a keyless ignition on the ADV 150... There should've been one on this bike
they said they only did it to clean up the area by the speedometer but obviously a proximity T would've done the same thing
this was laziness and they "CHEAPED" out on this aspect of the bike
Lol. I did. So stoked. Love keyed ignitions, lol.
@Hendrix Houston Nice.
@@AdamWaheed Thanks 4🅰️⭐Review✔️.
@@bryanschwabenland6657 Thanks man.
It's kind of unfortunate that he has to stay with the Honda nanny. I feel like we would have got a better feel for this bike had it not been through stop in go traffic. I do appreciate your videos, as we have the same build and height. I was looking at one of these as a sportster competitor but I was most concerned about how it would fit a tallish rider. Hopefully you can get it back some other time and get some
Oh is that who that is up front haha, wondered why it was a boring ride
It says it’s an “MC Commute” video. I got a great feel for how well the Rebel 1100 with the DCT would do as a daily driver - very good, from what I see here. That’d be most of my riding, so I’m glad to get a real-word look at it.
Commute on a 1100 cruiser, feels a strange choice
lol @ nanny. when i was "shopping" a 'honda nanny' had to go with me. i was interested in the Fury. i told them if i cant open it up, feel its potential, ride, handling etc id turn around, bring it back and buy bike elsewhere. i was told Honda protocols etc. When we got a cpl blocks away the rep stopped at a red light and said "ok...ride it your way and ill just follow you. just dont take off and lose me." i rode "my" way. when we got close to the dealer on the way bk he waved me over and he took the lead. at the dealership he said "thats how you should demo ride dude! but u didnt hear it from me ok?" i bought the bike that hour lol 19 Fury
As a shorter rider who favors mid controls rather than the typical foot-forward controls of most cruisers, this could just be the bike for me. I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing one in person very soon. Thanks for the review.
This feels like a bike where you can just toss a set of saddle bags on the back and tour better than most cruisers on the market (that aren't actual baggers).
I like how nimble, agile and torquey this bike is. Probably the best commuter bike for not so tall people.
Can’t wait till April to get mine, I’m getting the Manual version
I see your an adult. Good on ya.
@@justinhofer3640 i dont really understand the hate that automatics get. I feel like its gonna be like with cars how everyone i knew used to have a manual then everyone got an automatic. I ride manual myself but thats an economic decision.
@@UnsolicitatedWisdom The last people who are going to think motorcyclists are tough and cool are other motorcyclists. Automatics are totally fine.
Good on you for keeping it MANual
@@tonyrichengod9280 been nothing but fun, put a tbr exhaust on it, and some upgrades, super fun bike to ride, great lean angles up the canyon where I live up in cache valley
Im happy that Honda made this bike. When I was shopping around in 2018 for a small cruiser with mid controls, there were only 4 bikes for me to choose from; Kawasaki Vulcan 650, HD 883 & 1200, and Yamaha Bolt. I liked the HD 1200 so I bought it. But, after the excitement of a new bike wore off, it really was an underpowered bike for a 1200cc motor. The suspension was bad too. For 10k, i felt like i bought a new bike that was built in the 90s. After learning the history of Sportsters, i realized i did buy a bike from the 90's. But that Evo motor still brings a smile to my face. Even though the Honda 1100 isnt a v-twin, it could be what the Sportster should've been for 2021 in terms of power, electronics and suspension.
21:34 there it is
Don't forget that Adam's hair adds at least 15hp on any bike!
No missed shifts with DCT. Looked what happened to manuals in cars. Young people do not want clutches. Automatics will pull more people into motorcycles
You're right also old guys like me with arthritis in my clutch hand and a bum left knee. DCT just makes sense for my next/final bike. Cheers!
Lol automatics are boring af, bikes are supposed to be manual lol
@@josephlemons Holy fuck teach me to be cool
@@josephlemons Personally, I like shifting a bike and would never buy an automatic for myself. But I’d like to get one of these automatics for my wife lol. It’s just less for her to think about. Brake and power is all she needs to cover.
I think the Manual Tramsmission model is $700 less and 22# lighter..
Can't wait to hear it's sound with aftermarket exhoust
Thanks for the great review 👏👌👍 I currently have a 500 with my 1100 arriving ANY day now. I'm 5'4", the height & narrow body is perfect for me. I'm SO excited & can't wait!!! Thanks again!!!!!
Can’t quite put my finger on it but this video lost my interest rather quickly considering this is a very interesting motorcycle.
I think the ride and the guy talking doesn't do it for me.
Glad to see an initial review so soon. I hope you get a chance to do a regular MC Commute on a manual version as that bike is on my short list for my next purchase in 4 years or so! It would be really awesome if it also had the touring fairing and saddlebags.
I'm looking at beginner bikes. This looks great. I want something that I can work up to and learn without having to do the "upgrade" route.
@@dharokthewretched7373 yeah, it sounds like they set the big Rebel up for folks like you....the Indian Scout is setup much the same - keep the revs low and power delivery is pretty tame, but rev it out and she really hauls butt up above about 5000 rpm. Of course you get a little more electronics and quite a different style with the Honda than the Indian. Price wise it's hard to beat the Rebel 1100.
@@brianhofmeister1279 Thank you. That's what it seemed like. Feels like a bike to "grow into" for those who, despite being a beginner wouldn't be irresponsible and aren't too afraid. I'd respect the bike, as it would be a new thing for me, but I'm comfortable on the road and watching for others. I drive an 18 wheeler for a living, and that gives me confidence on the road. I'd probably just hang out in the small streets while I learn to ride though before I even touch the high way haha.
My goal is to first, go to a harley davison training course and see if I'd even like to ride after I get the endorsement.
@@dharokthewretched7373 take an MSF course and you can skip the driving exam and get your endorsement by passing the class. Two birds, one stone. Bikes are a great way to unwind and take in the scenery in a whole new way! I hope you get your license, get a bike and enjoy yourself for many years. And if you do, please encourage others you meet to do the same, and set a good example by riding safely and letting others in on the fun. Godspeed.
@@brianhofmeister1279 Thank you. Those are my plans. Safety first and always!
$10k is a great price!
I bought my Africa Twin new, as a one-year hold-over model, for $9700, and I feel like I stole the bike. Getting a new, liter-class Honda cruiser for $10k is as close to an honest steal as you'll get.
I wanna wait a year or two and get a used one I wish I had the money for a new one
Bro, why are you wasting the entire video by talking about the specs? I wanna listen to the bike running and about how it rides! Bad review.....
@Tarto Suc right?! He does the same thing in tiger850 sport review too, such an irritant...
Very cool bike, I’d love for Honda to take it a step further and bring back the magna - the first gen ones!
I think this bike is going to be a stronger competition to the sportster than the Indian scout.
The Sportster 883 is already out of the ballpark, IMO by performance alone the Rebel 1100 should go up against the Scout and maybe a new Vulcan (unless Kawa is gonna come out with the obscenely powerful new Vulcan)
@@StirbMensch the scout maybe but I can’t see the Vulcan holding a candle to this bike
A lot of people like V-Twins when it comes to cruisers and they also like the made in Murica when it comes to cruisers. They also like the Indian and Harley Davidson badge.
@@Lex-Rex except that if you compare them by price range AND performance, any V-Twin except for the Scout will fall flat on its face against the parallel twin of the Rebel 1100
@@StirbMensch Does not matter to cruiser bois. They want their HD and Indian push rod V-Twins. BTW, my 1290 Super Duke R would destroy this thing LOL -- it has a V-Twin.
Sure would be nice if they start building bikes for those with longer inseams without having to add aftermarket, stretching, etc.
Waheed is the best moto journalist - his review are always detailed and spot on . I also appreciate his subjective views of the bikes . He ll let you know if and why the bike is or is not for him .
I dont believe any of them journalists, its their job to say good stuff about the bikes or they wont be sponsored by any companies.
If you can live with the wet mouth tsk sounds
Thanks man. Yeah, they can't do it like us. Not even close.
With the DCT, is there a way to free rev to get attention of ppl around you without having to honk?
Great review.
Not so good camera angle with jiggly hypersmooth on the helmet
Would you characterize it as a accommodating step up from the 500cc? If someone was getting back into motorcycles after many years and had been looking at the Rebel 500, would you consider this 1100cc version easily managed?
The 1100 is easily managed. Using rain mode cuts back power by a lot, for those who prefer that.
This Good Bike Not to Heavy to, may Be a Option 4 me, Lol if economy Turns Around. As it Stands CycLes... Don't make much Sense With $5.00 + Gas, as They Did@ $2.00, Lol.
HD 1200 - 57 horsepower
Honda 1100 - 86 horsepower
Per usual, ill go with the Honda. Rode another Harley recently and when I give it 100% it only gives me 50% of what I'm hoping to feel 😑
The reality of the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT ***BIG SCOOTER W/FEW GEARS***. For people with Arthritis and disabilities. Right to the point. Its really a Female Scooter 🛵. God bless you all. Amén.
The electronics are amazing! I drive a Royal Enfield. I have one of those fancy headlights so you can drive at night.😂
Hey sometimes that's all you need haha.
If Royal Enfield makes a Continental GT 1000 with a bigger parallel twin it could be a good competitor to this.
Is Honda aware that there are other colors in the universe besides black and burgundy?
Money.
They know when they sell their bikes people are just gonna custom them anyway.
And they right
@@saigonrider most people will just put on an exhaust and ride it.
For some reason this just makes me want Honda to bring back the Valkyrie 😭
I accidentally came across a Valkryie in a parking lot while out motovlogging on my ZX-14R a couple of years ago, and had a nice chat with the owner. Valkyrie's are a special bike, for sure.
why wish when there are ton of unsold Valkyries under 10k
@@rubensahak9178 would like a more modern version. Love the classic, was my dads favorite bike and I grew up riding on his. I’m honestly not into cruiser bikes But a modern Valkyrie with the current 1800cc flat 6 would be a dream for me, probably only cruiser ide buy
@@toofastnobrakes F6B / base Goldwing is basically a modern Valkyrie, right?
@@ntdscherer kind of, but I want that classic cruiser style with more modern tech and amenities
This isn't a review.... It's a guy's spewing a bunch of Honda marketing bullshit to us while he rides a bike.... I'd like for someone to actually ride the bike. Get to know it and then give me their impression. Not a bunch of marketing bullshit.
First I thought Im the only one watching a guy riding this exciting bike and what he does is basically just "reading up" the specs from the website without any emotions.. Glad you have noticed too.
Still waiting for a real review.
This is a manufacturer-sponsored chaperoned "launch ride" with many no-nos attached. Give TH-cam reviewers some time!
@@daveinwla6360 The title of the video says "review"
What where you expecting? The bike is not out yet and you clicked on this video expect like a 1 year review on it?
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 not a 1 year review, just a natural and honest one without reading the spec sheet.. Don't get me wrong, it's a great review but just too much of a book report style..
Harley 883 killer all day
Not just the 883
1200 killer
It'll eat a Sportster's lunch no matter what model it is.
I’d take a sportster over this any day
congratulations on your way of orthophonic speech with so dense information!
Award goes to Yiorgis for using orthophonic in a sentence. Even though it just sounds like dude is always trying to suppress a fart when he is talking.
Cool bike, but to a lot of people chain maintenance gets old if you actually ride a lot and ride in all weather. (Yes, I know adventure bikes are often chain-drive, but that is a different market segment). If targeting Harley, a belt drive would be helpful.
Agree completely. I have a 107 Fat Bob and love it, but this Honda is a temptation...except for that chain. I have a warrantee issue coming up with the condensation building up on warm sunny days at the bottom of the cluster. As long as I don't get any grief from Harley on this I'm staying with the Fat Bob. Otherwise, that Rebel is looking real nice.
I'm waiting for the day where we no longer need to maintain are chains all the time. Didn't someone make a chain like that? Though from what I understand its not wide spread yet.
I have 13,000 miles of complete neglect on my Xring chain. Chain maintenance is overrated in my personal experience. Chain maintenance got old for me too so that’s the path I took with my current chain 😆
I respect how you're talking about the bike while we can see your friend riding it in front of you, kind of like two different point of views from.the bike lol it was cool
I like your videos but man you sure aren't a poster child for rider safety. I think I saw you use a turn signal one time while turning or changing lanes, you spend too much time riding one hand in traffic, and noticed you also like to wait till the last minute and brake hard at stops. Almost took out the lead rider at about 17:15 of the vid as you flew up beside them as they were turning right at the stop sign, last minute correction on their part kept them from running over your front wheel. But I do like your videos and they are informative. Safe travels to you sir.
this is gonna be my first bike! DCT!
Once you learn how to operate it you'll find out how it has a far quicker response than clutch shifting. You can still shift gears and automatic mode. You don't even have to let off the throttle to paddle shift. there's no timing.
Great Review Adam! I must say I love this engine with it's 270 degree crankshaft. It would be a natural move up for someone that has a 500 Rebel as you said. But! Does it really fit into the traditional cruiser market? I would have to say no. The traditional cruiser market is and has always been dominated by Vee Twins. Although it does have several things going for it. Price, Honda reliability along with good looks and sound. I would stick with a manual transmission but DCT could be a big plus for some. Honda just may have something.
I Love not shifting gears...just ride...twist & go is great
@@robertsalyers1351 Thanks! Love it!
I've yet to try a DCT motorcycle but I'm still really into shifting my own gears on two wheels.
I know. Don’t like scooter 🛵
i`~Think Do iT YourseLf May be Better iTs Much Lighter, & if Your Stuck With This Bike 4, 15+ Years ... LikeLy Be TroubLe Free, Lol.
the first nail to Harley's coffin for 2021 onwards.
Need a bike that does trips and has good wind protection and pannier racks.. wish we could have seen a fairing model
Wouldn't that be the CTX700 DCT? I guess it does not have the same amount of power. Your right
It's coming
I wish these reviews would mention a few more things. Is there a center stand? Does it come with a tool kit? What kind of valves and what's the valve check/adjust interval? No center stand on a chain driven bike is a deal breaker for me. Surely there's time in a 23 minute video to mention those things!
@Mark I agree with the need for shaft drive instead of a chain. Either way, a center stand should be included, or at least available as an accessory.
If you want a v twin esc feel........buy a v twin
Would love to see the DCT on the 300 and 500 if one of the goals is to draw in new riders.
From what I've heard, the DCT adds quite a bit of weight, which is why it's only available on the 1100.
@@RialuCaos It would make sense to put it on 300 or 500 as they are lighter.
@@WhenBoredomStrikesChannel yea but they lack the power to go hard already. Add more weight and you got heavy and super slow.
I love your reviews. You certainly do your homework. I watch every new vlog
. Thank you!
It looks like it's the same physical size as the 500. Guess my 6"2 ass isn't buying one of these
Buy a rc car
Pretty much why trailies became popular. Physically big and cheaper than large cruisers. Although that seems to be changing too now...
I'm so excited about this even though I have no plans of buying one haha. Probably because I rode the Rebel 300 and it was one of the easiest and comfortable bikes to ride ever.
I want it.

You gave a ton of info, but almost no riding impressions! You talked about details thats already all over the internet. We came to hear the bike, and hear how it handles and feels.
Did Adam discuss the Honda 1100's competition? I'd love to know his thoughts on the Indian Scout and HD 1200 bikes compared to the Honda 1100. If you were going to buy one of the 3 - Honda Rebel 1100, HD 1200 or Indian Scout - which one would you purchase? Thanks, Adam.
Don’t forget Triumphs offerings. They make every version of motorcycle you could ask for.
My man!! I would watch you giving a review on a turtle!! Another great vid...
Honestly if I were to get a cruiser It would either be the rebell 1100 or the Indian scout
This really appeals to me as a second bike to my ZX14 for a fun little run around cruiser. Really dig it actually.
little cruiser? with 1100cc?? :D
This is a gem of a bike. 👍🏼
Excellent and informative video.
I got 12,000 miles on my Rebel 1100cc DCT and still love it. Most of the time I am using the manual custom mode. It's a lot of fun on the Jersey shore with some flamenco guitar music in my helmet.
Why is it so ugly tho?
Because the tank looks like an egg plant!
Waheed! You are my favorite moto journalist ever! But, where are the twisties? opening it up on the highway? Where's the obligatory wheelie!? You even wheelied the 500! Can you redo this review without the DCT and give it one of your standard reviews? I've been waiting so long to see you do one of your standard reviews on one of these. You're still my favorite.
That thing is a hell of a deal. with the DCT it is 9,999USD, that includes all the electronics and cruise control. 9,299USD without the DCT, still has all the electronics and cruise control. So for the price of an 883 Sportster or Indian scout 60, you're getting the most technologically advanced cruiser on the market and still will leave most cruisers in the dust as it has 90hp and non-DCT is under 500lbs, DCT is a hair over 500lbs.
I’m not sure who was asking for this bike, but from the looks of this Sabre 1100 whomever buys it will probably be happy with it. Seems like a good (it’s a Honda...) bike.
I was definitely asking for it. I've had the 500 for a few years, and always wanted them to put either the Africa Twin engine or the CB650 engine into it to make it a fully complete bike. Now they have, and I'm definitely going to fork over the money I've been telling them they should shut up and take.
I love the position of the camera and the other rider. We get to see two angles in one shot
Can’t wait for the aftermarket section to catch up. These things are gonna make foe fun builds you can keep and enjoy a lot longer than the 500 projects were used to seeing.
I’m sure some bike accessories company will make a decent set of forward controls for this Rebel......let’s hope so or that’s a hell of a lot of 6ft and plus riders discounted!...
This, Triumph Bobber, and Indian Scout/60 give people some interesting choices within a few thousand
Love this thing with DCT & 270 degree twin!
Would love to see a hot hatch with that's setup in the future.
Don't like the automatic transmission. I like to shift gears myself with the use of a clutch and a foot shifter. Some people may find this appealing though since it's easy to ride.
There's a manual version too
Why. Does. This. Guy. Talk. Like. This.
lmao
Hell yeah, been waiting for this one!
The question is will they make a cb1100 X. Would be great to upgrade my 500x to that.
Hey man, what's the maximum comfortable raider's height for this motorcycle you think?
Been waiting for this review, thanks Adam!
Thanks!! Another great video Adam!! I will definitely need to test ride a Honda Rebel 110 with DCT and with the conventional transmission to compare. I'm used to using the friction zone on conventional motorcycle transmissions for slow speed manoeuvres. Just curious... How is the slow-speed manoeuvring with the DCT?
The Honda 1100 NT Model has also been announced for 2022, I'll definitely buy that one.
it hasnt really been announced, just patents & rights have been filed under this name. But yeah, most likely it's coming 2022

@@OperationFoxley19441 Me, too. I'm just so pumped because if we "normal non-press" guys getthe bike, there will be much more videos on YT and reviews on websites, blogs and reddit.

How's it doin now? I'm thinking of getting one in a few months as a first time rider, it was either the Rebel 1100, Shadow Phantom, or Indian scout 60 but since I want to use it for daily commute instead of my truck I eliminated the Indian Scout and I think the Shadow Phantom doesn't have enough power
This Seems Like VG Bike, maybe 24/25✔️.
Waheed, need 1100 test 2, u solo. Wheelies, Ln splittin, 70's in 45 zone. Ask Tiger how that works out. Test 1-brain, test 2-no brain, and all ur other test. But, bottom line ur O.K. I did do 110 on My Honda 500-4 in 1971. Turn myself in?
Adam, until now I saw many poor "journalistic" materials, anyway, your is one of the most poorest ever made it! First of all, It's unbelievable that you have not mentioned from the very beginning that "somebody" else will change gears instead of you, and you will be able to enjoy the view and the ride, also to comment in a very relaxing way mumbo-jambo things because of this unique system named DCT. Also, you forget to mentioned from the very begging that Rebel 1100 is the only one in his class with this brilliant dual clutch transmission. Well, maybe you have to apologize to everybody, including to Honda, for this important missed ...
4:41 try installing a 2-2 true dual exhaust without crossover, with one pipe each side, and you'll have what you wish for. 😍👍
Funny. You don’t know what torque is. You confuse inertia and torque. The bigger flywheel doesn’t create more torque. A flywheel simply stores energy. It doesn’t produce energy. The. Offer flywheel simply reduces the twitchiness of the motor. Because doing that reduces the ability of the motor to power the motorcycle and rider at the same level of linear acceleration as the Africa Twin, they lengthened the stroke of the motor. A little increase of Stroke creates a higher degree of torque than a little increase in bore. The longer stroke means per unit of time there will be fewer reciprocations.
Anyway. Believe me. They wanted the bike to be less twitchy but maintain acceleration. And to run at lower rpms. Cruisers don’t typically like high revving motors. They buzz. For hours. Drone on. Like being in an airplane in 1953.
I just want to see more bikes like the Vulcan S.
Cruiser bikes with sport bike engines 😂😂😂
Give me an MT-10 in a performance cruiser frame. Why? Because it’s so very wrong and makes no sense. Inline 4 power cruisers, this is what I need 😂
Great engine but it looks horrendous and cheap like the original rebel, like they took 5 bikes from different brands and put that together.
Does the DCT come with maneuver mode like in goldwing's?
always, yes.
They need to make a tracker version of this. There was some blueprints going around for a tracker style months back. THAT would be sweet!
There's also a plan for a supercharged one. Not sure if it's for this one or the Africa Twin.
How about a street fighter with this engine?
Great Video Adam! Best one yet
That guy riding next to you is not stopping at Stop signs, not following rules and keeps cutting you off, wtf... Great review though... Love Hondas! :)
I don't like these press release MC commutes. They are first ride impressions, not true commute videos. Same problem with the Aprilia RS 660 video. Its just too stifling.
Looks like Honda has taken the Harley Davidson sportster design and brought it into this century!
Just copycats with more ponnies. Nothing beats a raw motorcycle. Electronics are a joke.
Cool motobike, I inspired so,I also sent LIKE👍 I know, We are HONDA lover
I got like 5 minutes in and stopped watching. You haven't said anything about the ride, power, fit, quality.....
These ”media ride" days are a joke. I am surprised they don't actually attach a leash to you guys. I hope you're getting paid to ride.. So what if they give you the freedom to ride for four hours. It would be well worth it to me if half the bikes wrecked.
How is this thing at 75-80mph highway speed? Is it buzzy? Or engine screaming is it confortable?
I think this will be my rental of choice. Don't think I want to commute on it, but will be nice for trips. Thank you Honda.
Perfect bike for me . I have my left leg injured and my left hand injured . So it’s just like a scooter? Twist and go ?
